Hurricane Gustav Domains – Whats Going On?
September 2, No Comments - Author: Simon JohnsonThe University of Alabama at Birmingham has reported that “more than 280 Internet domain names have been registered relating to Hurricane Gustav, some of them using words like charity, relief, and support.”
Gary Warner reported that Godaddys Registration Privacy service has domains such as:
gustav08.org
gustav-ala.info
gustav-ala.org
gustav-alabama.info
gustav-alabama.org
gustavclaims.info
gustavclaims.org
gustavclaims-ala.org
gustavclaims-alabama.org
gustavclaims-houma.org
gustavclaims-la.org
gustavclaims-lafayette.org
gustavclaims-louisiana.org
gustavclaims-mississippi.org
gustavclaims-ms.org
gustavclaims-texas.org
What will these types of domain names be used for? Who knows. There is a big difference between investing, speculating and outright fraud. Lets hope these people do the right thing.
Given that Gustav is a bit of a fizzer, compared to Katrina – perhaps people have blown their money? What do you think?
